The Rinne Foundation makes a small number of targeted, modest grants focused primarily on higher education and health-related patient services. Their giving supports scholarships and academic program enhancement at a university level, as well as local healthcare institutions and direct support services for people affected by cancer. Although based in Seattle, they fund both local health nonprofits and at least one out-of-state college, and they show a willingness to make repeat gifts to a favored higher-education recipient.
